I rammed a mulcher with a reram PHO knowing full well that it wasn't going to be a pretty outcome, but it was going to have some lolz.

What happened was, my engine destroyed, my car on fire, my armor down to 4, my weapons destroyed, my crew slightlly hurt.

His vehicle, front armor reduced by about 4 points. Exposed engine did not seem to be damaged much at all, and crew were fine.

I did have a roll cage.

Lesson learned, don't ram mulchers! But why the large difference in damage done.

He was doing low 40s coming up a hill, I was close to 60 coming down the hill.

Chassis type, weight and speed come into play. Also, roll cages are supposed to reduce the amount of damage taken. Having an OD spec will increase the amount of damage dished out.

Again, things like things are all part of the hidden secret sauce. No one knows for sure which keeps game play fun, challenging and a little bit unpredictable.

My advice is ram vehicles that do not have a ram. Or, the way I run them, 2 rerams in the front without rollcage. I don't think I have ever lost a jousting impact with that setup.

Two ReRams on a pho does make for fun :-)

If you ever see him about, talk to Snipe about ram set-ups, there's a man who likes to play with ram cars

On a side note, my OD spec who drove the car, died in the foot sqaud on the way home.

We were running to a junk pile to search it while the critters writhed in agony. We got to the pile, no critters around us, no one shooting at us, and he fell over and passed out. His energy was drained and he just collapsed and died. He was a mutant in his 40s.

I think he died of a broken heart after losing his precious ram car.

A few patch ago the OD spec got fked up. In fact i think the OD spec now applies to both drivers. (having the spec also hurts your driver.) I tried getting sam to look at this, not sure if he did , so I might be wrong.
